What rules? And what do you call MSAA? Do not confuse API like behaviour with applications Bob. "...The new accessibility model for Windows, UI Automation, is designed to provide a single reliable source of UI information to assistive technology products and automated test scripts." We know you don't use MS products (sheesh do we know), so this likely will not affect you. But for developers of Windows based applications, it sounds like a "new and improved" method of accessing UI information... Sounds vaguely like DOM type behaviour to me (but I ain't no expert...)
